(SUPPLEMENTAL USE REGULATIONS) OF TITLE 18
(ZONING) OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE TO

15301(CLASS 1; EXISTING FACILITIES).
(ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00160)
(DEV2019-00031)
WHEREAS, in June 2017, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council")
established the Homeless Policy Working Group for the purpose of developing and recommending
a policy framework to address homelessness in Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, in January 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-009 thereby
approving the recommendations of the Homeless Policy Working Group to consider regulatory
amendments to the City's Zoning Code to increase the supply of affordable housing and the
development of a variety of housing product-types for all income levels including,but not limited
to, Transitional and Supportive Housing as those terms are defined under the California Health
and Safety Code and the City's Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, transitional housing consists of rental housing units that are affordable to a
lower income household and that operate under program requirements that call for termination of
affordability assistance and recirculation of an assisted unit to another eligible recipient and some
predetermined future point in time, which shall be no less than six months; and
WHEREAS, supportive housing combines affordable housing with intensive coordinated
services to help homeless individuals and families and persons with disabilities maintain stable
housing and receive appropriate health care; and
WHEREAS, in August 2018, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-106 thereby
approving an Affordable Housing Policy affirming that affordable housing is a priority in the City
of Anaheim in response to the housing affordability crisis. The Affordable Housing Policy
encourages dialogue between City and all developers of upcoming rental and for-sale housing
proposed in Anaheim to consider options and approaches for addressing the City's affordable
housing needs,as set forth in the Housing Element of the City's General Plan,and other documents
that guide the City's affordable housing goals. The City Council also adopted an Affordable
Housing Action Plan in conjunction with the Affordable Housing Policy, which includes
regulatory relief to increase the supply of affordable housing. One of the Plan's action items
recommends that staff analyze and process amendments to the City's Zoning Code to allow the
development of all housing product-types, including creative housing solutions for all income
levels; and
WHEREAS, the Association of California Cities— Orange County (ACC-OC) has called
upon Orange County's 34 cities to develop a countywide plan to build and fund 2,700 Supportive
Housing units, which would provide enough units to house the County's estimated homeless
population. To achieve the goal of 2,700 units, ACC-OC allocated every city in Orange County a
target number of units based on each city's total resident population. Anaheim received an
allocation of 303 units (the "ACC-OC allocation"), the highest of any city since it is the largest
city in the County; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City's police power, as granted broadly under Article XI,
Section 7 of the California Constitution,the City Council of the City of Anaheim("City Council")
has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace,morals and
welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim desires to amend the Zoning Code to facilitate, for a
certain limited duration of time,the conversion of existing motel and other commercial and office
structures in certain specified zones of the City to allow Multiple-Family, Transitional and
Supportive Housing for low-income persons subject to certain development and performance
standards; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that the provisions of this Ordinance that allow the
conversion of existing motel and other commercial and office structures shall become inoperative,
null and void three (3) years from the date of adoption of this Ordinance or upon satisfaction of
the ACC-OC allocation, whichever occurs first; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that this ordinance is a matter of citywide
importance and necessary for the preservation and protection of the public peace, health, safety
and/or welfare of the community and is a valid exercise of the local police power and in accord
with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(Public Resources Code
Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA") and the State of California Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act(commencing with Section 15000 of
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations;herein referred to as the"State CEQA Guidelines"),
the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents
for this ordinance; and
WHEREAS,the City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is exempt from the
requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301 (Class 1; Existing Facilities), which applies to the operation, repair, maintenance,
permitting,leasing,licensing,or minor alteration of existing structures and facilities and involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
determination. The proposed Code amendment meets these criteria and there are no unusual
2
circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant
effect on the environment.Additionally,future conversions of existing motel,commercial or office
structures, to Multiple Family, Transitional and Supportive Housing for low-income persons,will
be subject to subsequent CEQA review at the time that the approval body, typically the Planning
Commission, considers its approval of the CUP for the proposed project.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING
CHAPTERS 18.08 (COMMERCIAL ZONES), AND 18.38
(SUPPLEMENTAL USE REGULATIONS) OF TITLE 18
(ZONING) OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE TO
FACILITATE THE CONVERSION OF EXISTING MOTEL
AND OTHER COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE STRUCTURES
TO ALLOW MULTIPLE-FAMILY, TRANSITIONAL AND
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR LOW-INCOME PERSONS
AND FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THIS
ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS TO
PREPARE ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCUMENTATION PER CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

15301(CLASS 1; EXISTING FACILITIES).
(ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00160)
(DEV2019-00031)
WHEREAS, in June 2017, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council")
established the Homeless Policy Working Group for the purpose of developing and recommending
a policy framework to address homelessness in Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, in January 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-009 thereby
approving the recommendations of the Homeless Policy Working Group to consider regulatory
amendments to the City's Zoning Code to increase the supply of affordable housing and the
development of a variety of housing product-types for all income levels including,but not limited
to, Transitional and Supportive Housing as those terms are defined under the California Health
and Safety Code and the City's Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, transitional housing consists of rental housing units that are affordable to a
lower income household and that operate under program requirements that call for termination of
affordability assistance and recirculation of an assisted unit to another eligible recipient and some
predetermined future point in time, which shall be no less than six months; and
WHEREAS, supportive housing combines affordable housing with intensive coordinated
services to help homeless individuals and families and persons with disabilities maintain stable
housing and receive appropriate health care; and
1
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
WHEREAS, in August 2018, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-106 thereby
approving an Affordable Housing Policy affirming that affordable housing is a priority in the City
of Anaheim in response to the housing affordability crisis. The Affordable Housing Policy
encourages dialogue between City and all developers of upcoming rental and for-sale housing
proposed in Anaheim to consider options and approaches for addressing the City's affordable
housing needs,as set forth in the Housing Element of the City's General Plan,and other documents
that guide the City's affordable housing goals. The City Council also adopted an Affordable
Housing Action Plan in conjunction with the Affordable Housing Policy, which includes
regulatory relief to increase the supply of affordable housing. One of the Plan's action items
recommends that staff analyze and process amendments to the City's Zoning Code to allow the
development of all housing product-types, including creative housing solutions for all income
levels; and
WHEREAS, the Association of California Cities— Orange County (ACC-OC) has called
upon Orange County's 34 cities to develop a countywide plan to build and fund 2,700 Supportive
Housing units, which would provide enough units to house the County's estimated homeless
population. To achieve the goal of 2,700 units, ACC-OC allocated every city in Orange County a
target number of units based on each city's total resident population. Anaheim received an
allocation of 303 units (the "ACC-OC allocation"), the highest of any city since it is the largest
city in the County; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City's police power, as granted broadly under Article XI,
Section 7 of the California Constitution,the City Council of the City of Anaheim("City Council")
has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace, morals and
welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim desires to amend the Zoning Code to facilitate, for a
certain limited duration of time, the conversion of existing motel and other commercial and office
structures in certain specified zones of the City to allow Multiple-Family, Transitional and
Supportive Housing for low-income persons subject to certain development and performance
standards; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that the provisions of this Ordinance that allow the
conversion of existing motel and other commercial and office structures shall become inoperative,
null and void three (3) years from the date of adoption of this Ordinance or upon satisfaction of
the ACC-OC allocation, whichever occurs first; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that this ordinance is a matter of citywide
importance and necessary for the preservation and protection of the public peace, health, safety
and/or welfare of the community and is a valid exercise of the local police power and in accord
with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(Public Resources Code
Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA") and the State of California Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act(commencing with Section 15000 of
Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations;herein referred to as the"State CEQA Guidelines"),
the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents
for this ordinance; and
2
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is exempt from the
requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15301 (Class 1; Existing Facilities), which applies to the operation, repair, maintenance,
permitting,leasing,licensing,or minor alteration of existing structures and facilities and involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
determination. The proposed Code amendment meets these criteria and there are no unusual
circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant
effect on the environment.Additionally,future conversions of existing motel,commercial or office
structures, to Multiple Family, Transitional and Supportive Housing for low-income persons,will
be subject to subsequent CEQA review at the time that the approval body, typically the Planning
Commission, considers its approval of the CUP for the proposed project.
